Aims/priorities: Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) and the Community Wellbeing Team at Action Together are working with the local community to increase creative wellbeing activity in Tameside. The main aim of the Creative Wellbeing Programme is to reduce demand and dependency on health and social care services by connecting people who have long term health conditions to community-based activities and services to help improve their own health and wellbeing.
We would like to fund activities/projects that aim to positively contribute to people’s health or wellbeing. Examples would be; online singing for reduction in asthma symptoms or to reduce loneliness and isolation, posting craft materials to reduce stress, or an online art club. The activity/project may be developing/expanding existing provision or it can also be new activity. Either way it must be something creative and delivered safely, and with the aim of positively impacting on the wellbeing of Tameside residents.
Each group can only apply once for the grant; a second application will not be considered.
Your activity/project must be risk assessed and Covid-secure. A completed risk assessment must be sent in along with your application. Please click here for risk assessment templates. We can only support projects which have been risk assessed and that are complying to government safety guidance, please visit https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus for the latest government advice.
Who can apply? Voluntary, Community Faith and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) groups who are members of Action Together and are based and operate in Tameside. If you are not already a member of Action Together, you can become a member for free by registering here.
Grant amount: Up to £1,000
